Everlast - Children's Story Tabbed by: http://www.andreasvockrodt.de [Intro] Fm [Verse]
FmUncle Whitey, Uncle Whitey, can you tell us a bedtime story? FmYeah, we want some bedtimes stories (Please!) FmOnce upon a time not long ago when people wore pajamas and lived life slow FmWhen laws were stern and justice stood and people were behavin' like they our too good FmThere was a little boy who was misled by another lil' boy and this is what he said Fm"Me and you, Guy, we gonna make sum cash Robbin' old folks and makin' the dash" FmThey did the job, money came with ease but one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease FmHe robbed another and another and a sister and her brother tried to rob a man who was a D.T. undercover FmThe cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic he said keep still, boy, no need for static
[Verse 2]
FmPunched him in his belly and he gave him a slap but little did he know the lil' boy was strapped FmThe kid pulled out a gun he said why'd you hit me the barrel headed straight for the cop kidney FmThe cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure I'll do years if I pull this trigger FmSo he cold dashed, ran around the block cop radios in to another lady cop FmHe ran by a tree, there he saw this sister a shot for the head he shot back but he missed her FmLooked around good and from expectations he decided he'd head for the subway stations FmBut she was coming so he made a left he was runnin' top speed till he was outta breath FmKnocked an old man down and swore he killed him then he made his move to an abandoned building FmRan up the stairs up to the top floor opened up the door there, guess who he saw FmDave the dope fiend shootin' dope who don't know the meaning of water nor soap
[Verse 3]
FmHe said I need bullets, hurry up, run the dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun FmHe went outside but there was cops all over then he dipped into a car, was a stolen Nova FmRaced up the block doing 83 crashed into a tree near university, FmEscaped alive though the car was battered Rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered FmRan out of bullets but still had static grabbed a pregnant lady and out the automatic FmPointed at her head and he said the gun was full of lead FmHe told the cops, "back off or honey here's dead",
[Verse 4]
FmDeep in his heart he knew he was wrong so he let the lady go and he starts to move on, FmSirens sounded, he seemed astounded before long the lil' boy got surrounded, FmHe dropped the gun, so went the glory and this is the way I gotta end this story, FmHe was only nineteen, in a madman's dream I saw the cops shoot the kid, I still hear him scream, FmThis ain't funny so don't you dare laugh just another case 'bout the wrong path, FmStraight and narrow or your soul gets cashed G'night
[Outro] Fm
